    Summary
    fis transcription is supercoiling-dependent. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10317]. Fis, "factor for inversion stimulation", is a small DNA-binding and bending protein whose main role appears to be the organization and maintenance of nucleoid structure through direct DNA binding and by modulating gyrase and topoisomerase I production , as well as regulation of other proteins that modulate the nucleoid structure, such as CRP, HNS, and HU. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10317].
